Special Session

Small Panel Discussion

Panelers : Matsubara san (igel), Munakata san (Renesas), Shibata san (NEC), Nojiri san (Hitachi) and Machida san (Sony)

Matsubara san, Machida san and Munakata san presented the report. The materials will be uploaded soon.

昨年、2005年はCELFメンバーはオタワで「お客様」として暖かく迎えられた。いろいろな技術に関してたくさんの「cool」という最大限の賛辞を頂いた。それに対して、今年は「cool」という言葉が影を潜め代わって、"Show me your codes"をはじめとして、「何か一緒に出来ないか」「別のプロセッサーへの対応はどうなのか」など、技術の内容を掘り下げる会話が目立った。恐らく今年は「お客様」の位置づけが進化して、「パートナー」の位置づけになったのだと信じる。すると来年はどうあるべきか。いよいよ「本当にコミュニティーの一員なのか」を問われる正念場を迎えるのではないか。Last year (2005), CELF and the members were welcoomed by the OLS community people very warmly. For many technologies which we had brought to the symposium, many of them admired and said us "what cool technologies". May be the position of ours in last yer was something of "GUEST". However, this year we could not heard the word "cool". In stead of the word, we had asked many of the technical detail or the possibilities to colloaborate with us. "Show me your code" was the key sentence for this year. We thought that our positioning for this year was one step ahead from the "GUEST" to "PARTNER". We think next year we will be asked whether we are truly joined as a part of the community. Yes, OLS 2007 must be quite important one for us.

人との和 / Harmonization with "non embedded" system people

OLSは広範な技術領域から開発者が一堂に集まるイベント。例えばFedoraの起動時間が遅いことの分析に対するプレゼンテーションで「ここが遅い」「あそこに時間がかかっている」・・・というプレゼンターの指摘に対して会場に居る指摘された関係者から「I'm sorry」と声がかかるなどは、象徴的な出来事。まさにメインラインコミュニティーの場が多様な方面からの人々が集まっていることを示している。その輪の中に組込み系は如何に入るのか？OLS is an event which many developers from various application domains come together. In a session, when the presener pointed out the reasons why Fedora Core boot up so slowly, we could hear some one from the audiences said "I'm sorry". It is a proof that so many inteligences got together in Ottawa. Now, we have to consider and act seriously how to get involved in such circle.

この場では単に組込みの立場を主張すれば良いわけでは無いことを、今年は認識した。「組込みは市場が大きい、だから押せば何とかなる」などと決して思ってはいけない。例えば組込みにしか一見関係ないように思える技術要素でも、例えばパワーマネージメント技術がサーバ系など他の領域に関連する事も充分に有ることを認識しなくてはならない。だから、ここに溶け込むには広範な領域を見渡せる技術的見識が必須である。相手を考えながら、自分の立場を説明し互いにとっての最高の解を求める姿勢が極めて重要。We have recognized it again in OLS 2006 that we should not speak only from aspects of the embedded system view point. It is really bad manner if we think "embedded system have broad potential to use the Linux, so that if we speak lawd then the other people will listen to us". We must realize even for the technologies which we feel them to be useful to embedded systems only, they sometimes may be useful for the other application domain such as "Power Management technologies" for server system. The behavior we have to take is that explain our self courteously, listen to the other application domain people carefully and seek for the best solution together. Broad range of inteligences to understand the other domain are required for us to join the OLS community.

骨を持つ / To have core discussion items

このような中で効果的に来年のOLSに参加するには、組込み系として核となる技術領域をいくつかフォーカスして参画するなどは真剣に考えるべきだろう。In this condition, it may be ideal to focus on some technology area which embedded system developers are interested to plan for the participation of the next OLS. We have to consider serously.

例えばキーノートスピーチの中で有った「User Space Driver」の件など組込み系として来年に向けて集中して検討を加え来年のOLSに持ち込むと良さそう。そのような「語る話題のリスト」を作るのはどうだろうか。（次回ジャンボリーまでの間に有志でブレーンストーミングするのはいかがかと思っています）。Wouldn't it be possible to list up such items which we would like to discuss in the OLS community. For example, "User Space Driver" which was mentioned in the key note speech would be one of such items.

Example:

第10回CELFテクニカルジャンボリー / 10th CELF Technical Jamboree

前回のジャンボリーで予告しましたとおり、8月25日（金）に第10回東京テクニカルジャンボリーを開催します。(As announced in the previous Jamboree, 10th Tokyo Technical Jamboree will be held on August 25 (Fri).

Power Management Working Group (CELF) Meeting

CELFのPower Management Working Group (Mark Grossさん、インテルがチェア）は10月25日に東京でミーティングを開催予定しています。参加希望の方はMarkさんにメールを送ってください。英文でお願いします。単に「I would like to attend the meeting on October 25th」と書いて頂ければ結構です。場所や時間の詳細は未定です。（宛先：mark.gross(atmark)intel.com）

Power Management Working Group (PMWG) of CELF is planning to have a face to face meeting on October 25th in Tokyo. Please be encouraged to attend The venue is not decided yet.

On October 25 the CELF Power Management Working Group (PMWG) will have presentations
and discussions about the following:

Power Management needs of CE developers.

What PM tasks should we should consider having a CELF funded contractor do?

What’s happening WRT powerOP and CPUFREQ.

What’s happening with dyntick and HRT in the mainline Linux kernel.

What we can do to help get features we need accepted into the mainline Linux Kernel.

How can we do better at getting our own work accepted into the mainline Linux kernel.

Any additional Power Management topics people would like to bring up and or present to the group.

To plan this meeting I need to have a guess on how many people will attend.
This should be a less than a half day meeting. I think we should have this in the
afternoon, but if folks feel an AM meeting would be better that can be arranged as well.

Please contact mark.gross(atmark)intel.com if you are interested in participating in this
10/25/2006 meeting.
